Paris from WI

There is a TV lounge, a movie lounge, a game room, a gym, and there are clubs you can join. You can have a lot of fun just meeting new people and making friends.

Food and Dining

There is not a whole lot of food choices for the cafeteria and most of it is a little bit pricey. There are a lot of vending machines including coffee machines around the school so you can always get snacks during the day. Most of the teachers are okay with you having some food in class as long as you don't make a mess or bother other students. I would recommend just bringing lunch or snacks from home to eat during the day.

Dorm Life

This school does not have dorms. The campus is set up really nice. there are lots of areas with chairs or couches set up so you can hang out or study. All the furniture is really comfortable and the school just made some renovations around the campus. They put in new carpeting in a lot of areas and I think they got some more, new furniture. It all looks really nice.

Academic Rigor

It really depends on the classes and programs you are in. Some classes have a lot of homework, some classes have a lot of projects, and some classes have mainly in class work and discussions. The work isn't too hard as long as you keep up with it and not put it off to the last minute. If you're having any problems, the teachers are really nice and try to make themselves available to you to help and answer your questions. Some classes can be kind of boring, but most are pretty nice and have fun teachers. If you try and show that you care about your education, your teachers will really try to make sure you do well.

Tips for prospective students

Don't be afraid to ask your teachers for help or ask for tutoring! Everyone at the school is really nice and laid back and all the teachers are willing to help you. also, make sure you get to your classes on time or a little early. Most teachers won't yell at you or anything for being a little late, but it comes off as rude and discourages them from going out of their way to help you. If you make a good impression and show you care, you won't have any problems at all. Also, showing up early helps you get a better parking spot. The lots can fill up pretty quick.

In three sentences

I really like going to school here. The classes are pretty small which lets you know your teachers better and you get more of a one-on-one experience in your classes. Everyone is really nice and helpful especially during your first semester. My only complaints are that the parking lots fill up really quickly and the cafeteria isn't that great. Otherwise, everything else is really nice. The teachers are all really friendly, there's lots of places to hang out or study, and the students all seem nice.

Campus Safety

I never felt unsafe while at the school. There are cameras throughout the entire parking lot to ensure that nothing gets stolen or damaged. I would also assume that there are many cameras in the school. The one thing that disappointed me: The school does not have an emergency drill that I know of. With all of the school shootings, I believe there should be a drill or escape plan for something of that nature.

Clubs and Activities

There are a few clubs and activities. I was not involved in any.

Great for these types of students

Great for adults, students who took a break, unsure students, or those who can not handle difficult classes.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

none that I am aware of. I enjoy the sitting areas off the hallways to do homework.

Bang for the buck

The classes are expensive for being a technical college, but then again I do not have any other school tuition to compare to. The books are expensive. I rarely had to use my books and only got a third of what I paid back during the buy back. Some books I never even opened.

What to do for fun

I was not involved in any extra activities. There is a theatre room, game room, and gym. Some people workout and play basketball.

Food and Dining

I did not eat at the cafeteria. I think it is too expensive.

Dorm Life

No dorms

Academic Rigor

There were not any hard classes that I encountered. I took math, physics, human anatomy, race, contemporary American society, English composition, intro to psychology, developmental psychology. They all included assignments, tests, and some projects.

Tips for prospective students

Always double check all of your classes and obligations that must be fulfilled. Make sure you are enrolled in the correct classes. Apply and register early so that the classes are not full.

In three sentences

There are a lot of programs to choose from and it is easy to get accepted. The school has good resources, including labs and tutors. Office employees do not know enough information.

Kate from Green Bay, WI

The best thing about NWTC is how safe it is. I left a computer cable in the cafeteria and somebody found it and turned it in. I've never heard of any serious crime on campus.

Clubs and Activities

Very little social life. Clubs are created and disappear quickly.

Bang for the buck

Good bang for the buck if you have your bar of expectations set pretty low.

What to do for fun

The game room is OK. The gym is dismal. The showers are cold.

Academic Rigor

I am taking general studies courses here with the intent of transferring to a 4-year UW. If you can afford not to do this, don't. These classes are like high school classes and will not prepare you for the rigors of a real university.

Tips for prospective students

Don't go here for general studies. You will be disappointed in the quality of the classes. Don't go here if you are a special needs student. You will be disappointed. I have a good friend with AS. He is not getting the accommodations they promised him. Teachers and staff keep dropping balls. The accommodations staff members talk at him very fast and don't listen at all. I'm the only one listening to him. I'm encouraging him not to give up. It's very sad. I hope he gets through this and transfers somewhere that will be more understanding.

In three sentences

Don't expect too much. The facility is much higher quality than the staff and instructors (with a few exceptions). The accommodations staff seems to have little understanding of the needs of the students that they are supposed to be serving.

Francisco from Green Bay, WI

Campus is very safe, I have never been in any sort of danger or had problems with other students.

Great for these types of students

This school is great for any type of student, but especially for those who like a more one on one relationship.

What to do for fun

There are so may activities going on at NWTC that you won't ever be bored, when you can hang out with friends or go play some pool.

Tips for prospective students

Do not get behind on your work because it can get overwhelming depending on your class schedule. Try to get a long with your instructor in order to have a healthy relationship and you can understand each other.

In three sentences

NWTC is a very pleasant school to attend because of the one on one attention you may receive from your professors. Makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. You cannot go wrong with NWTC.

Campus Safety

The campus is well lit up at night. There is always, seven days a week, several security vehicles driving the grounds. There are also security walking the campus. I feel completely safe when I'm on campus or leaving campus, no matter what time of night it may be.

Clubs and Activities

Too many clubs to mention and so many volunteer opportunities.

What to do for fun

Every day there is something fun going on. They have family movie nights several times a week, ping pong tournaments, bands, beach party picnics with free food, involvement fairs, career days, air hockey tournaments, and so much more. Every month, NWTC celebrates a different heritage; the school strongly supports diversity.

Food and Dining

The cafeteria food is awesome and very reasonably priced. Besides the cafeteria, there are little coffee shops and bake shops throughout campus, along with a giant vending machine area.

Dorm Life

NWTC does not provide dorm units.

Academic Rigor

Academic rigor is very casual. I have never had an instructor who was strict; as long as assignments are on time and respect is shown; which should always be the case. I have, absolutely, loved every instructor I have had in the past and the present.

Tips for prospective students

Utilize your academic advisor; they are a great help when deciding on programs and courses. The Dean and Assistant Dean are always willing to schedule an appointment with you and help in any way they can. Online courses are great; they run very smoothly and a student learns important information from their classmates through the discussion boards.

In three sentences

I rate NWTC very high. They offer many programs along with a very supportive team of instructors. The campus is nicely laid out and very easy to find your way around.

This school has up dated resources which makes it easy to find any information you need. All the employees are very helpful whether they are your teacher or not. This school makes it not stressful to learn.

There is a little movie theater, the student life area has a lot of things for students to do, there is an arcade, and if you don't know what is going on they always post a monthly calendar around campus to promote student involvement.

Food and Dining

The Cafateria is big has a lot going on, and great food choices!

Academic Rigor

It depends on your previous knowledge. As long as you go to class and do what you need to do you'll do fine

Tips for prospective students

Do not be afraid to ask for help. It may seem fun to skip class, don't, it will only hurt you. Despite some of their rules, the instructors only want you to succeed. Make sure you can handle a large class load before you sign up for one.

In three sentences

NWTC is a great school with great instructors. The counselors and all other employees of the school are there to help you and they do a fantastic job. The other students attending are nice, generous, and very helpful also!

What to do for fun

NWTC offers multiple activities to do throughout the week, as well as having a game room and movie theater. Students often can get together and have a great time using the recreational facilities offered, usually for free!

Tips for prospective students

NWTC offers several ways to assist with understanding your classroom materials. Taking advantage of the tutoring sessions and writing lab they offer will greatly help increase your understanding of the material assigned to you in class, and will most likely help your grade as well!

In three sentences

NWTC creates a great atmosphere to learn. Teachers are all willing to help you learn and actually want you to succeed. I have never had a less than satisfying experience with scheduling classes, or other things to prepare me for my upcoming years.

it is amazingly less expensive than the other two year colleges in the area.

What to do for fun

there is a gym and a rec area. they also have a small theater with movies playing all the time.

Food and Dining

the food in the cafeteria is okay, not necessarily the best. we also have a coffee shop that is amazing and many restaurants near school.

Dorm Life

there are no dorms as it is a technical college.

Academic Rigor

i have to admit, it is not as hard as i had anticipated it to be. however, we do a lot of group work so it is important to want to work with others.

Tips for prospective students

ask for help when you need it, not when you are falling behind. make sure to use all of the resources available (tutors, special needs, etc.). make friends with fellow students and don't be afraid to take chances.

In three sentences

i love the school because the atmosphere is very welcoming. most of the instructors are here to help you and have been in your shoes. it is wonderful that they try very hard to get adults to return to school as well!
